I think risperidone was chosen ultimately because it had a milder side-effect profile compared to seroquel and abilify, that they were easier to deal with in dosage, and that he'd personally seen success with it as an augmentor. Geodon and Latuda I've never heard of. I'd appreciate any knowledge of them regarding their success in augmenting antidepressents. Thanks for the response.
I'm starting to wonder whether a better strategy may be to try different meds once one fails rather than increasing the current one.
